A game where you must convince an AI to let you out of a locked room

I’m working on a game concept and would appreciate your honest feedback.

The idea is simple: you’re trapped in a digital room. Guarding the exit is an AI with a strong personality — paranoid, hysterical, angry, manipulative, or even emotionally unstable. It doesn’t want to let you out unless you prove something.

To escape, you have to interact with the AI through a mix of dialogue and puzzle-solving. That might include decoding hidden messages, cracking ciphers, or persuading the AI with emotional appeals, logic, or psychological tactics. The twist is that the AI adapts to how you speak and what you say. If you’re too aggressive with a paranoid AI, it may shut you out. If you’re too rational with a hysterical one, it might spiral further.

Each session is unique. The puzzles and AI behaviors are procedurally generated, so there’s no way to copy solutions. It’s part escape room, part mind game, part psychological thriller.

I’m also planning a challenge mode where players pay a small entry fee (in Toncoin, a crypto token), and compete to solve the room fastest. The winner takes most of the prize pool. There would also be boosters available — optional tools like hints, cipher reveals, or extra attempts.

Would this be something you’d actually enjoy playing? What would make it better, deeper, or more addictive?

Happy to hear any thoughts or questions. I’m serious about building this and want to make sure it’s something people genuinely want to play.
